Micrometers (µm) measure cells (human cell = ~10–30 µm), bacteria (1–5 µm), and microelectronics. Pollen grains are ~15–100 µm wide. The hectometer (hm) is useful for measuring sports tracks (1 lap = 4 hm), urban blocks (~1–2 hm long), or vineyard rows. Road signs in some European countries use hectometers for minor distance markers.
To convert between Micrometer (µm) and Hectometer (hm), use the following formulas:
1 Micrometer (µm) = 1e-8 Hectometer (hm)
1 Hectometer (hm) = 100000000 Micrometer (µm)
1 µm = 1 * 1e-8 hm = 1e-8 hm
10 µm = 10 * 1e-8 hm = 1e-7 hm
50 µm = 50 * 1e-8 hm = 5e-7 hm
100 µm = 100 * 1e-8 hm = 0.000001 hm
500 µm = 500 * 1e-8 hm = 0.000005 hm
| Micrometer (µm) | Hectometer (hm) |

| 10 µm | 1e-7 hm |
| 50 µm | 5e-7 hm |
| 100 µm | 0.000001 hm |
| 500 µm | 0.000005 hm |
| 1000 µm | 0.00001 hm |
